In Their Own Words: Grounds for Change is a family owned and operated coffee roasting business. Our mission is to support social equity and environmental sustainability through fair trade, organic coffee.
We roast our 100% Fair Trade, Organic coffee in small batches to ensure that you receive the freshest coffee possible. All of our coffee is Fair Trade Certified by IMO and our Organic Certification meets the stringent Organic Processor Standards enforced by the United States Federal Government and the Washington State Department of Agriculture. The vast majority of the coffee we sell is also Shade Grown Coffee which ensures healthy habitat for migratory birds.
A number of community-based programs in coffee-growing countries directly benefit from the purchase of our coffee. For example, farmers in Peru and Mexico receive a higher price per pound for their coffee (above and beyond the going rate for certified coffee) to help support local domestic violence intervention programs and small business loans for women.
